Instructions
Step 1
Find out if you are eligible for citizenship. It can be provided to people who have legally lived in the country for more than ten years and are reasonably well integrated into the local community. It is advisable to have a job, as well as speak the official language of the country - French. The wives of Monaco citizens can apply faster - after five years of continuous residence in the country, and the husbands of citizens must draw up documents according to general rules. Also, in a simplified manner, adopted children can receive the corresponding status.
Step 2
Prepare documents for filing documents for naturalization. You will need to obtain a police clearance certificate in your country, and, if necessary, provide documents confirming your employment, income, address, as well as family ties with citizens of Monaco. All papers must be apostilled and translated into French with notarization.
Step 3
Contact the local administration with the package of documents. There they will be able to tell you if you need to add any more papers. If you submit everything you need, then your application will be registered.
Step 4
Wait for an official government response to your request. Naturalization applications are considered personally by the Prince of Monaco and largely depend on his decision. Be prepared for the fact that you may be called for an interview in order to better understand the reasons for obtaining citizenship.
Step 5
Upon approval of your application, you will receive naturalization documents. The very process of accepting citizenship usually takes place in a solemn atmosphere with the presentation of an identification card of a citizen of the country.
Step 6
Give up your citizenship by birth. According to the laws of the country, a citizen of Monaco cannot have a second citizenship. To renounce Russian citizenship, contact the country's consulate in Marseille - this also applies to Monaco. It is located at 8, avenue Ambrois Pare.
